Summary

Introduction

Recording assets is one of the essential factors for an agency to carry out its operations. Good asset management can improve organizational performance in achieving its objectives effectively and efficiently; special attention needs to be given. This is because in general, assets have a price that is not cheap and has a long useful life. According to Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation (2007), Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD) reports its assets to the Regional Government in the form of a Goods Inventory Card Report (KIB). It has been noted that since 1980, the DKI Provincial Government has lost assets of an area of 19.7 hectares (Tempo, 2017). The government cannot show evidence in the form of original certificates when facing disputes in court (Tempo, 2017)
